MCC

they've finally fixed it with the recent update, shame that it fucking broke the co-op for CE on my end

3 because the mechanics of the game are the most solid and even though the battle rifle is a common top tier weapon it doesnt invalidate others.

Halo 3 is the best ofc. Why?

>Zig Forums suddenly loves Halo

God is dead

halo 3 overrated due to nostalgia. worst gameplay and narrative in series. Halo 2 GOAT

>Halo 2 GOAT
Even Bungie thinks Halo 2 was a mini disaster, zoomer.

Halo 2 would be the best if it didn't have stupid trial and error corridor sniper sections

>have to sign up for xbox live to play Halo on Steam

Yikes

I have never nor will I ever care what a dev thinks when I am appraising a game.
Halo 2 is the best Halo game.

2 > 1 > 3 > POWER GAP > Reach

i love how halo will give you a warthog and have a scarab hang by a ramp like cliff and not tell you what to do which makes it feel more spontaneous and heroic when you do it.

some of the firefight encounter designs are astounding and i love the amount of agency i have over the action. the campaign basically tees you up all the time to do cool shit but doesnt outright tell you and magic moments happen.
also nice to have combat which has a sense of push and pull and the way weapons and shields work make it so flanking is actually useful and a barrage of grenades can be the disruption you need to push in and finish the fight so to speak.

love halo.

You know what? Recently completed all the so far released MCC games, and I actually want to play Halo 4 the most.

Halo 3 KING

Halo 2 anniversary is the best gameplay wise, Halo 3 has the best maps and Reach has the best game modes

Halo 2 has the best campaign and competitive multiplayer. Halo 3 has the best big team social multiplayer. Reach has the best custom games.

>Halo 2 is the best Halo game.
The best halo game with the worst weapon balance and campaign levels? Most of the arbiter levels were garbage.

it's not a question of what the xbox could or not do, it was bungie's fault for being too ambitious
halo 3 is the answer to this, everything about it was going to be in 2, they learned from their mistakes and they made a highly balanced game

>playing Halo for the campaign

They've fixed halo reach and halo 3.
Halo 2 I don't think had any?
And halo CE is still fucked.

ODST > 1 = 2 = 3 > Reach > Non-canon 343 fanfic

>ODST for campaign
No.
It was a good campaign but nowhere near 1, 2, or 3

>Not doing both
Zoom zoom

>worst gameplay
Yeah cause 2 with it's 1000 corridor fights and drawn out survival fights where so much better. Fucking retard.
>scarab "fight"
>just a cutscene
halo 3 > halo CE > halo reach > halo 2

This
Fuck reach
If I was into this series when reach came out I would have been pissed
Fucking shitty shorty as fuck campaign

>not playing Halo for the campaign

3 certainly had the best Multiplayer, and the introductions of Forge and Theater were groundbreaking and ahead of their time imo. That said, the campaign was a letdown after 2, and unlike ODST and Reach it didn't have Firefight.

So in other words just ODST then since it had the best of both worlds.

Halo 3 is the best halo game on average.

This. Multiplayer all the way

CE and ODST are fine. Everything else is meme tier. If you enjoy co-op play firefight, otherwise no one cares you beat halo 2 on legendary

5 > everything else

Suck my fucking dick bungie trannies

I like Halo Wars though. I thought it was ballsy of them to try and make an RTS that played well on console and that fit the universe.

Do people actually care about the lore? Like I tried getting into it many moons ago (around Halo 4's launch) and it seemed more like some sort of comic universe-type thing that the games lazily acknowledge through a reference here and a terminal there but never has any actual consequences on the plot.

why would anyone choose anything but the objectively best armour?

>avoid wars
Both games are solid optional. Maybe not 2 because the multiplayer balance is a fucking mess.

It is a tie between ODST and Reach for me. I'm sure no one agrees with me, but I respected what they did in both and I like that they're different.

its too dumbed down even for a console RTS. pic is proof that its possible to make a great console rts but devs dont want to put in the effort or they're too scared that it'll be "too hard" even though it won't if done right.

Is this referencing the Halo single player games? I've only ever played CE but wanted to play more. What's wrong with Halo Wars anyways?

Halo multiplayer sucks. Balancing guns around their effective range is a joke.

I like ODST a lot for its distinct style, but I'm glad the gameplay was orthodox. I didn't appreciate the changes Reach made to the formula.

>pistol, the game

Just play swat you mongoloid

Never played it i regret to say. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for AOE IV, even if Ensemble aren't around anymore.

>>the best multiplayer
yeah I love my bullets getting deleted mid-air because of the retarded netcode

Halo Wars 1 and 2 are both great games, but I'd put them as optional just because the typical dudebro playing Halo games ain't gonna want to play an RTS. Especially a console-ized RTS.

>When are they adding 5 to the MCC?

why in the literal fuck would you want that?

Nah. Everything about 5 is better. The movement, actually having ads, better graphics, the maps, guns felt better to shoot. Beats out all the previous halos.

Pre 343, halo's lore was handled as games > everything else. External lore was not needed and bungie really didn't care about it but rarely actively contradicted it until reach.
343 went balls deep in trying to tie the two together but vastly overestimated how many people read the external lore as well as managing to routinely contradicted already established lore and themselves. Halo lore as it stands now is a mess and not worth your time at all.
